Totally wrong not all deafies lipread. I'm HOH/late-deafness. Even before i was diagnosed with having a profound hearing problem I was always lipreading for me it came naturally to watch people's lips while they spoke. When I really can't hear someone because there at a distance from me. the noise gets distracting and its hard to lipread so i have to ask them to move closer. I try my best to lipread and have to fingerspell around deaf people. I lip-read all the time it makes my life easier.
